Stratview Research has launched a new report, titled Sheet and Bulk Molding Compound Market is Segmented by Fiber Type (Glass Fiber, Carbon Fiber), by Resin Type (Polyester, Others), by Application Type (Transportation, Electrical & Electronics, Construction, and Others), and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World)
Covid-19 Impact Analysis:
Covid-19 has highly impacted the market dynamics, competition, and supply chain of almost all industries. The revenues have gone down in 2020 and are expected to resume an uptrend gradually from 2021 and continue to grow further. The report covers all the segments that were affected by the pandemic.
According to the report, Sheet and bulk molding compound market is likely to witness an impressive CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. The global SMC and BMC market registered significant growth in the earlier few years, bearing high claim for lightweight and remarkable mechanical properties material, in the U.S., Germany, and emerging economies, such as Brazil, the Middle East, and China. The burgeoning transportation and electrical & electronics sectors in these countries are driving the growth of the sheet and bulk molding compound market globally.
Market Segments’ Analysis
Based on the fiber type, the market is segmented as glass fiber and carbon fiber. The glass fiber segment leads the market, owing to its cost-effectiveness and easy availability. The mechanical characteristics of SMC and BMC are chiefly governed by the category of reinforcement. Carbon fiber is generally employed as reinforcement where elevated strength and sturdiness are demanded. Owing to the greater cost of carbon fiber, it is used in smaller amount.
Based on the resin type, the market is segmented as polyester and others. The polyester segment is estimated to account for a larger share of the market in the coming five years. Further, polyester resins are expected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to their unique properties, such as excellent dimensional stability, corrosion resistance, and chemical confrontation properties, which augment the durability of SMC and BMC materials. SMC and BMC composites based on polyester resin display superb fire- and flame-resistant characteristics, hence, they are being employed in electrical & electronics application.
In terms of regions, presently, Asia-Pacific is the largest consumer of SMC and BMC respectively. China, Germany, and Brazil are the growth engines of the region. The Asia-Pacific region is estimated to depict the highest growth during the forecast period. The market in the Middle East within the RoW region is anticipated to burgeon with the highest growth in the coming five years. The market is driven by the development of transportation and electrical & electronics sectors, which has led to the high demand for SMC and BMC in the region. North America and Europe are also expected to offer considerable growth opportunities during the forecast period.
